2011 Toyota Auris 1.6L Petrol · GU11 AAY

The 2011 Toyota Auris with 105,935 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2025-11-13 at the same mileage as a prior failed test on 2025-11-07. No defects were recorded in either case, suggesting the vehicle met minimum legal standards. However, the proximity of the failed and subsequent passed tests at identical mileage raises questions about potential testing inconsistencies or minor issues resolved between assessments. No structural, suspension, or braking system faults were flagged in the latest record, indicating no immediate safety risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 105,935 miles aligns with an average of 7,062 annual miles over 15 years, reflecting typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 14-month interval between the 2023 test (79,396 miles) and the 2024 tests (93,946 miles), during which no records exist. The 2024 tests on 2024-10-28 show both a pass and fail at the same mileage, an anomaly that may indicate administrative errors or repeated testing for minor issues. The sparse data limits definitive conclusions about long-term wear patterns. A buyer should conduct a hands-on inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points on this model. The absence of brake-related defects in the latest test is reassuring, but the 2025 failed MOT’s lack of recorded issues warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s braking system for hidden faults. Corrosion checks on the underbody and chassis are also advised, as older Aurises can develop rust in high-mileage examples. No structural integrity concerns were noted in the MOT records, but physical examination remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
